Ellis in the orchard, pickin' baskets of oranges, where are all the hired hands?
They've gone to follow some prophet man, as far as I can understand,
they left to follow some prophet man.
Peckesen, poor Colonel Peckesen.
Ellis up a ladder, lookin' down at a letter, says "we are the pickers,
we've gone to work in the vineyards. The Grape Prophet called,
and we heard our names, tell Colonel Peckesen that he's not to blame."
Peckesen, poor Colonel Peckesen.
Ellis in the orchard, pickin' baskets of oranges, where are all the basket lines?
They've gone to work on the grapevine.
The Colonel falls down on his face, all his orange juice is gonna waste.
Peckesen, poor Colonel Peckesen.

This is a formative album for me that has aged so well. I had no idea at the time how well crafted the album was and am so thankful for this remaster and chance to add it to my physical collection. auraltecture
